Tips For Making DIY Concrete Candle Holders
- When choosing concrete molds, if you want a smooth surface, choose either smooth plastic molds or silicone molds.
- Always vibrate the concrete in the mold before letting it cure.
This will cause air bubbles to rise to the surface and release, otherwise, you risk having pinholes or pitting in your concrete. - If you use a plastic bottle as the mold, you can cut it to make a perfect collar.
Use a homemade straight edge to get straight line cuts around a cylindrical bottle. Here is the straightedge technique. - Most concrete mixes will require that you wait until the next day (usually 24 hours) before you demold, so plan accordingly.
If you need the candle holders to cure in less time, then look for a rapid setting mix, but be sure the bag label also says it’s fast curing. Not all quick setting mixes are quick curing. - Seal your concrete candle holder to prevent the oil from the wax from penetrating the concrete.
This tutorial shows the steps and materials needed for sealing concrete candle holders. - Regardless of the type of concrete mold you use, you will likely have rough edges.
These can be sanded with regular sandpaper or special diamond sanding sponges. - When making concrete candlestick holders, don’t use the actual candle as the inner mold.
The heat generated during the curing process will melt the candle and cause you to lose part of the inner shape.
